Fernandez said in the press release that both Wexler and Turner “have deep expertise in their respective fields” of radio and television, respectively.

“As we have invested in our broadcast businesses and expanded our geographic footprint over the last decade, we believe that repositioning our broadcast segment around television and radio recognizes the unique expertise we’ve always had in Journal Broadcast Group around each medium,” Fernandez said.

Wexler received an incentive bonus of $154,880 in 2012 for his work enhancing Green Bay Packers programming at Journal Broadcast’s Milwaukee stations, expansion of his oversight responsibilities to include radio stations in Wichita, Kan.; Tulsa, Okla.; and Springfield, Mo.; and “effective management of record political and issue advertising in Milwaukee,” Journal Communications said in its 2013 proxy statement. The Milwaukee stations Wexler was running exceeded their operating-income goals.

The company has yet to issue its 2014 proxy with executive compensation information from 2013.
